Jeff et al; I guess it would be churlish of me to say I'm not interested in testing web-cams, but since I don't own one...
If I could wave my wand, what I would like to see is a great set of test cases for LibreOffice. And maybe even more than that, I would like to see a brief tutorial on how to set up a test case from a user narrative point of view. I would be willing to put together a LibreOffice user narrative (I'm stretching the truth here; I already have one) that could be turned into a test case. If some of us were to document such a process, maybe it would be easier for others to roll their own. Am I wrong?
